HONOLULU -- Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV. Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort. Limbaugh, 58, suffered from chest pains, sources said. Limbaugh was sitting in a chair in his ninth-floor hotel room at the Kahala when emergency crews arrived, sources said. He told medical crews that he was taking medication for a back problem, sources said. Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition. He will not be released from the hospital on Wednesday night, sources said. Officials with the Rush Limbaugh Program released a statement Wednesday night. "Rush was admitted to and is resting comfortably in a Honolulu hospital today, after suffering chest pains. Rush appreciates your prayers and well wishes, and he will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com." He was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week. The country club is next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort. The radio show host had been in the islands during the holidays. Coincidentally, his visit comes at a time when two of the nation's most powerful Democrats, President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are also staying in Hawaii. In 2001, Limbaugh received a cochlear implant after he suddenly lost hearing due to autoimmune inner ear disease. Limbaugh underwent treatment in 2003 for an addiction to prescription painkillers, including Lorcet, Norco and hydrocodone. Limbaugh's radio show is broadcast on more than 600 stations nationwide to nearly 14 million listeners. He is also a best-selling author.

Yeah, sure he was. Did he doctor shop for those pills too?
First Michael Jackson, now Rush.

Yeah, sure he was. He's still using that lame excuse? People with back problems don't play 36 holes of golf a day. Most people with back problems don't play golf at all.
How about Jack Nicklaus, little dick?
Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
Keep on digging little dick, your credibility is collapsing faster Obama's. golf-developing-a-perfect- swing-can-be-a-pain-in-the-back It's just a fact of life out there," says Dr. Scott Burke, a Denver orthopedic surgeon who treats nine PGA Tour players, including Fred Couples, and several L.P.G.A. players, for a variety of back injuries. "Sooner or later, almost everybody who plays golf for a living has some kind of back injury." The truth of this statement is underscored here this week at the Memorial Tournament. Greg Norman is returning from a six-week layoff following a back injury sustained during the MCI Classic at Hilton Head Island. Couples, who also has been out since Hilton Head, is still home in Dallas, nursing his sore back, and might not play until the United States Open in two weeks. Most of the golfers on tour have, at one time or another during their career, suffered a back injury. Some, like Don Pooley, Rocco Mediate, Dan Pohl, Lee Trevino and Fuzzy Zoeller, have had to resort to major surgery to correct the problem. Others, like Jack Nicklaus, have kept their back injuries at bay through rigorous and regular exercise regimens. A 1990 survey of PGA Tour players revealed that 59 percent of them had injured their lower back, and estimates are that at least that many amateurs have some sort of back problem.

Most on the courses in Palm Springs and surrounding areas have back problems. When my boss plays with Rush, he says Rush slows e'm down cause he can't move very fast. How old are you? Wait til you hit mid forties! The search in term (Google ):"Golfer with back problems" returns 175,000 articles dealing with this issue.

He also strayed into the "rough" alot. He won't have a leg to stand on once Elin gets done with him.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog) I don't know or F ing care.
There are back problems and then there are oxycontin back problems. No one with back pain so severe that they require a narcotic to deal with it is going to be playing golf.
You sure are full of shit, little dick. Can't you fookin read?
